Chapter 1154: By the Lanchi waters, Lanchi Immortal Island

The next day.

Epang Palace.

An unnamed residence.

Ying Ying Zi Ye lay comfortably on a lounge chair.

The chair rocked back and forth of its own accord.

He had just come out from a hot bath.

In his hand, he held a cup of steaming hot tea.

This little life of his was truly comfortable.

He had drifted off to sleep in a daze last night.

He hadn't even bathed, so now, after a wash, his whole body felt incredibly relaxed.

He had slept well last night and was now full of energy.

Ying Ying Zi Ye surveyed his surroundings.

The layout here was quite similar to the style of the Xianyanggong.

However, the decorations were even more magnificent and grand.

It was filled with a sense of extravagant luxury.

The tables and chairs were made of yellow rosewood, purple sandalwood, and agarwood—everything one could ask for.

It was fortunate that those massive pillars weren't made of these woods, or it would have been too decadent.

Ying Ying Zi Ye examined the decorations in the great hall with great interest.

As he sipped his tea, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Just then—

Footsteps were heard outside the door.

Ying Ying Zi Ye turned his head to look.

A figure appeared in his line of sight.

The person who arrived was none other than Wang Li.

"Your Highness, you have finally awakened."

"The Grand General came to look for you several times."

"Seeing that you hadn't woken up yet, he didn't disturb your rest."

"Grand General Meng Tian and the others have just departed."

"Is there any message you need to send to him?"

"If you pursue now, you can still catch up."

As soon as Wang Li entered, he reported this matter.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was stunned; Meng Tian had already departed?

Why was he in such a hurry?

Being so anxious to return to the northern border could only mean one possibility.

Could it be that something had happened at the northern border?

"For now, there is no message to send to him."

"Has something happened at the northern border?"

Wang Li smiled bitterly: "I am not very clear. After Grand General Meng Tian met with His Majesty alone last night, he began preparing to return to the north."

"Perhaps there is some matter, but this subordinate does not know what it is."

"Coincidentally, His Majesty has ordered that you go to see him once you wake up."

Wang Li was also bewildered; he didn't know what had happened either.

But he knew that His Majesty was truly good to the Prince.

He was even willing to wait until the Prince woke up before seeking him out.

If it were anyone else, he would likely have sent someone to summon them directly.

There would be no such thing as letting you sleep.

After all, imperial orders cannot be disobeyed.

Since when does a monarch wait for someone?

The Prince is truly exceptional.

Ying Ying Zi Ye stood up from the chair.

He didn't know what Brother Zheng wanted with him.

Since Meng Tian had already returned to the northern border,

he would also have to go see Brother Zheng.

To see if the Xiongnu were attacking the northern border.

Ying Ying Zi Ye lifted his feet and walked out.

But the next second, he stopped his body.

"Do you know where Father Emperor is staying?"

He suddenly remembered that this was Epang Palace.

It wasn't the Xianyanggong; he had only stayed for one night, so how would he know where Brother Zheng was staying?

"Your Highness, I have already inquired about this clearly."

"His Majesty is staying at Lanchi Palace."

"Your Highness just needs to follow me."

Wang Li's work was still quite thorough.

As soon as he arrived at Epang Palace, he had scouted out the surrounding terrain and the general locations of the buildings.

Lanchi Palace?

There really is a Lanchi Palace?

Ying Ying Zi Ye remembered seeing brief introductions about it in the Records of the Grand Historian before.

Lanchi Palace was Brother Zheng's sleeping quarters, also known as the Immortal Island.

It was named because it was built by the side of Lanchi.

"Lead the way."

"Let's see what Lanchi Palace looks like."

Ying Ying Zi Ye walked out.

Wang Li hurriedly led the way in front.

Epang Palace was too large; walking would take quite a bit of time.

Wang Li walked to the place where the imperial carriages were parked.

The two of them took an imperial carriage and headed in the direction of Lanchi Palace.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

The carriage finally stopped.

Ying Ying Zi Ye stepped down from the carriage.

He was immediately stunned by the scene before him.

The location where they were was at the foot of the mountain on the other side of Lishan.

Behind them was Lishan, and not far ahead was an artificial island.

A palace had been built on the island.

If his guess was correct, it should be Lanchi Palace. ===== CHAPTER 1156 =====
